The present study utilized data from 544 caregivers of children presenting to a psychological clinic in the southeastern United States to examine the factor structure of the APQ-9. Structural and measurement models of the APQ-9 were produced using a structural equation modeling approach to confirmatory factor analysis. The structural model demonstrated acceptable fit to a three-factor model structure. Three factors (Positive Parenting, Inconsistent Discipline, and Poor Supervision) yielded significant associations between factors. Results provide psychometric validation for the APQ-9 in a clinical services-seeking population. The measurement model indicated that only Inconsistent Discipline and Poor Supervision were significantly associated with externalizing symptoms. Given these results, clinicians may feel confident using the APQ-9 in their clinical practice as a valid indicator of the parenting experience prior to providing clinical services and thereby accurately evaluate ways to improve parent and child well-being. Further research is necessary to examine associations between the three factors and externalizing behaviors.

Yet, it is unclear whether these protocols reflect equitable clinical tools, and little is known about the community's perspectives on commonly assessed risk domains. In response, we introduced, and subsequently tested, a multifaceted definition for fairness in risk assessment. An embedded mixed-method study was conducted, such that Study 1 informed Study 2's methods, and the studies were subsequently integrated. In Study 1, caregivers (N = 22) and adolescents (N = 21; Mage = 14.28; 42.9% identified as Black, 42.6% White; 66.7% Male) involved with a JJS-diversion or probation program completed qualitative interviews on risk domains for offending behavior. Next, we examined the statistical fairness of salient risk domains from Study 1 in a sample of JJS-involved adolescents (N = 1,354; Mage = 16.04; 41.4% Black, 33.5% Hispanic, 20.2% White; 86.4% as male). An evidence-based medicine analytic approach, which was compared to artificial neural networks, tested subpopulation differences across performance indices. Overall, temperament, peer relations, cognitive styles, and school functioning emerged as salient risk domain themes across identities and informants. Subsequently, moral disengagement and delinquent peers emerged as equitable predictors of prospective violent and nonviolent rule-breaking behavior. A model comprised of these predictors was acceptable (i.e., areas under the curves ≥ 0.70; diagnostic likelihood ratios ≥ 2.0) and equitable. Artificial neural network models did not improve prediction. Risk assessments focused on moral disengagement and peer delinquency may lead to community-aligned and statistically fair assessment processes. These findings can lead to more equitable and engaging JJS risk-management approach.

This study examined the measurement invariance of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 Higher Order and Restructured Clinical scales across Black American and White American university students, with a focus on scalar invariance. Measurement invariance testing proceeds in sequential steps-configural, metric, and scalar-to determine whether cross-group comparisons are psychometrically valid. Establishing scalar invariance is necessary to assess whether observed mean score differences reflect latent construct differences rather than measurement bias. The sample included 766 students from two U.S. universities (331 Black American, 435 White American). We evaluated unidimensionality using confirmatory factor analyses and bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling, then applied multigroup confirmatory factor analyses to test measurement invariance. Results supported configural invariance for all scales and full or partial metric invariance for all scales, indicating structural comparability. However, full scalar invariance was rare; only Hypomanic Activation (RC9) achieved it. Partial scalar invariance was established for several scales-Behavioral/Externalizing Dysfunction (BXD), Low Positive Emotions (RC2), Antisocial Behavior (RC4), Ideas of Persecution (RC6), Dysfunctional Negative Emotions (RC7), and Aberrant Experiences (RC8)-with minimal latent mean changes between the full and partial models. Emotional/Internalizing Dysfunction (EID), Thought Dysfunction (THD), Restructured Clinical scales include Demoralization (RCd) and Somatic Complaints (RC1) did not demonstrate scalar invariance, limiting the validity of mean comparisons. Overall, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 Higher Order and Restructured Clinical scales showed mixed evidence of measurement invariance-consistent support for configural and (full or partial) metric invariance, but limited support for full scalar invariance. Hence, mean score comparisons should be interpreted cautiously, particularly for scales lacking scalar invariance.

There is inconsistency in the SURPS' factor structure; evidence suggests confirmatory factor analysis may be too restrictive for measures capturing correlated constructs like the SURPS. We examined whether exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) is better than confirmatory factor analysis for understanding the optimal factor structure of the SURPS in emerging adults. We tested the ESEM model for invariance across sex and alcohol use groups and evaluated the validity of SURPS subscales for identifying risky drinking motives and alcohol-related problems. Emerging adults (N = 6,397, 18-25 years, M [±SD] = 19.22 [1.49]) from five Canadian universities provided survey data. Relative to an ill-fitting confirmatory factor analysis, ESEM showed excellent fit. The SURPS ESEM provided evidence supporting equal measurement across sex and alcohol use groups. Concurrent associations included hopelessness with enhancement, anxiety-coping, depression-coping, and conformity motives; anxiety sensitivity with anxiety-coping, depression-coping, conformity motives, and alcohol-related problems; impulsivity with all motives and problems; and sensation seeking with enhancement, social, depression-coping, expansion motives, and related problems. Results support the SURPS as a structurally valid measure of personality vulnerability for risky drinking motives and alcohol-related problems and provide evidence for ESEM approaches when analyzing measures containing correlated constructs. The concurrent associations between SURPS subscales and risky drinking motives and alcohol-related problems in emerging adults support their utility for identifying those who may benefit from targeted interventions.

These participants had been administered a range of clinical interviews and self-report measures of psychopathy from which a four-factor model of psychopathy (affective, interpersonal, disinhibition, boldness) had been estimated. The ANT scale was meaningfully associated with affective, interpersonal, and disinhibition traits and added incremental validity to the MMPI-3 Aggressiveness scale in the predictions of these traits. Furthermore, ANT scale scores were associated with a range of conceptually relevant psychopathy symptoms from the Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality, covering the full spectrum of antagonism features. The findings indicate that the MMPI-3 ANT scale is a promising measure of the antagonism construct for both research and clinical practice.
